Pull my 16ft Silverline with a 97 Eddie Bauer Explorer that I picked up for this reason. Seems to pull just fine, but have no other experience to base it on.

A length of chain and my bare hands. That's how we used to do it in the old days before we had cars and trucks.....:D

Upgraded last night from a '07 Toyota Tundra 5.7L DC Shortbox with 103k on the clock to a '13 Toyota Tundra 5.7L DC Shortbox with just under 100mi on the clock now that I've driven it a bit :cool:. Dropped my monthly payment due to lease and dropped some pending major repairs - tires and transfer case. Went from White to Silver - wife's 2nd color choice. She would have preferred the new blue but that was already sold :grumpy:

Re: What do you pull your boat with?

I pull my '99 Four Winns Horizon 170 with my '05 Dodge Ram SLT Quad Cab 4.7, with 3.92 gears and tow package.
Truck is leveled out and other than K&N drop in and Flowmaster 40 series it is bone stock, and I don't even notice it back there.
Gas mileage really sucks with it behind me though.

I recently found out that my '99 Legacy SUS is rated to tow 2k lbs, and hitches and trailer wiring is common off the shelf stuff for it, so my little Custom Craft will be towed with that

Finally upgraded the much needed tow vehicle. The previous 08 Taco DC did OK, but the 226 Larson really pushed the light truck around. So here is the new to us 08 Expedition.



So far its proved itself well. I would rather have some taller gears for highway, but all in all its a great improvement!

My 1995 Aquatron 190 is pulled with a 2004 Dodge Durango AWD/4WD 5.7L Hemi powered. Usually loaded with 7 passengers and gear. Can't tell it's back there except for the 12.5 mpg
